Prime numbers having a difference of 2 are called twin primes. There is an infinite number of twin primes; the twin primes under 1000 are (3, 5), (5, 7), (11, 13), (17, 19), (29, 31), (41, 43), (59, 61), (71, 73), (101, 103), (107, 109), (137, 139), (149, 151), (179, 181), (191, 193), (197, 199), (227, 229), (239, 241), (269, 271), (281, 283), (311, 313), (347, 349), (419, 421), (431, 433), (461, 463), (521, 523), (569, 571), (599, 601), (617, 619), (641, 643), (659, 661), (809, 811), (821, 823), (827, 829), (857, 859), and (881, 883).
What else can I help you with?
How many pairs of prime numbers have a difference of 3?
Only 1 pair of prime numbers, 2 and 5, have a difference of 3. All prime numbers greater than 2 are odd so will have an even difference.
What is The difference between 2 prime numbers is another prime numbers what is it?
All prime numbers are odd numbers, except for the number 2. The difference between two odd numbers must be a multiple of 2. So, if the difference between two prime numbers is another prime number, that difference must be 2.Examples:{3, 5}{5, 7}{11, 13}{29, 31}
When is the only time 1 is the difference of two prime numbers and they are 2 and 3?
As the number 2 is the only even prime number then a difference of 1 occurs only between 2 and 3. All other prime numbers are odd and therefore the minimum difference between successive prime numbers is 2.
Is the difference between 2 prime numbers always even?
No. Consider 2 and 3. For that matter, consider 2 and all the rest of the prime numbers.
What 2 prime numbers will give a difference of one?
The prime numbers 2 and 3.
What is the greatest prime number that is the sum of 2 prime numbers and is the difference of 2 prime numbers?
5
Is the difference of two prime numbers a prime number?
Not necessarily. 71 is a prime number, 7 is a prime number, and 71-7= 64, which is NOT a prime number. In most cases, the difference of two prime numbers will not be a prime number. All prime numbers greater than 2 will be odd numbers. The difference between two odd numbers will be an even number. Unless that even number is 2, it is not a prime number. Here are some additional examples: 19, 13: difference 6, not prime 23, 7: difference 16, not prime 53, 31: difference 22, not prime 61, 59: difference 2, prime 113, 109: difference 4, not prime 293, 283: difference 10, not prime 331, 101: difference 230, not prime
Which pairs of prime numbers have difference of 5?
7 and 2 are the prime numbers having a difference of 5.
What two prime numbers have a difference of one?
3 and 2 are the only prime numbers with a difference of 1.
Why is one the difference of the two prime numbers 2 and 3?
All consecutive integers have a difference of one.
What is the greatest difference between two consecutive prime numbers less than 100?
The maximum difference is 8, between 89 and 97.
Two prime numbers whose difference is 2 are called?
Twin primes
